Whether you are learning for business, travel, study or just because you want to – these tips will defiantly be helpful to you. It's from my own experiences along with advices from good people who helped me out =)

Learning a new language is fun and kinda difficult in the same time. At points it can get really handy like when you visit another country of which the language you are learning. Or important, when you go for a study. Business fields aren't less important from all these. In any case you need to put a technique or a plan to catch up this language in a short and understandable way to you.

Here I'm going to write about what I learnt from what it takes to speak with a new language. As I mentioned before they are from my own experiences. I'm no professional teacher but I learn from what I went through and what life has shown me =)

So, let's get started with the tips;

1. Determine Purpose: why do you want to learn the
language? Is it for business needs? Education abroad? Or just for fun and as a
hobby for yourself.

This is an important point,
deciding your goal in the beginning will help you a lot. For example, if you
want to learn the language itself just for fun you may skip the writing and
reading part if all you need is speaking. On the other hand if you are learning
it for your education you may consider taking extra classes and study hours to
catch up with the language as fast as you can and so on.

2. Start with the
introductory: it
will give you a brief idea about the whole language. It's difficulty, sentence
orders and other points as well. It's more like a short preview about what you
are going to learn.

3. Learn 5 words per
day: to put it
up simply, when learning a new language you should consider the two most
important things: 1.grammar, 2.vocabularies.

Grammar is the base for
everything, if you want to express anything grammar will help you to say it in
the right tense. That leaves just the words. Like even if you know HOW
to say them to need the WHAT to work it out.

This is pretty simple; there are365days in a
year. If you get 5 words each day then by the end of the year you'll have a
base of1825words in your memory and it isn't a small amount as
you can tell.

4. Listen: this is a very important thing.
You should listen to whatever language you're learning anywhere you can. On
radio, TV, internet. Hearing to native people will teach you the right
pronounces of words and sentence. Hearing the language itself has more effect
than just reading it on paper or screen.

Some people say that
they don't hear the radio or any other source cause they don’t understand what
they're saying. This is the exact reason why you need to listen up!

Remember
when you were just a kid of 3-4 months old; did you understand everything you mother
used to say?! How about when you were about one year old?!Were you able to talk? Of course no!

This is why you should
listen, it's because you don't understand! By listening to native people on
radio or other source you'll learn just like you started learning your own
language. So, Listen. Listen.
Listen.

5. Write: okay, this is personally my own
experience. Writing letters and words over and over again helps you to memorize
them. I believe it has a strong effect than just reading them once or over and
over again. In this case, you will remember the way it writes and keep it in
mind. Like in type, when you practice that over and over again it's in your
mind all time.

6. Read: of course, you're not supposed
to read everything and the hard pieces of writing. Just train your reading
skills whenever you see a word in an ad, book, site or anywhere else. By time
you can notice how much you're improving in your new language.

7. Revise: to revise is to check on your
info one more time, every day, week, month and so. This helps you to fixation
the language in your mind. In any case or memorizing the info goes through
three stages:

A) ReadingB) Memorizing
C) Fixation

First you just get the info & take a general look into the whole subject then you memorize. Of course, if
you do it just once or twice it may not be there for a long time that will you
need to revise it on period of times as you fix them to help you remember the
info on the go.

8. Practice: though practice can be with
reading, writing and speaking as mentioned before but there's another way which I'm talking here, it's to
take a partner to practice with. When taking with a native it helps a lot. They
can show you the right way of using the language plus some cultures notes about it.

You can go to livemocha where
you'll find people around the world to practice any language you want. Try to
do some chatting and sending PMs to each other to improve your new language.
